Re: Connecting i5 Express to Internet

Make sure your router knows that 192.168.0.2  is a static IP address and 
the router does not assign it out of its DHCP server and you end up with 
conflicting ip addresses.

For now I would keep the public and private port numbers the same.

For your example  
(http://192.168.0.2:8014/cgidev2o/hello.mbr)
you would open up port 8014 
there is a document of what needs to be open for iseries access
http://faq.midrange.com/data/cache/147.html

as that link says you can use    netstat *cnn   to see what ports are listening, 
F14 will toggle between port and service name. Use  WRKSRVTBLE  to see a list of service names and ports, all of them will not be listening.

Note: FTP uses 2 ports: 21 and 20
